How Muhammadu Buhari is camouflaging as the silent sentinel to reclone Nigeria in Arewa's image

In the 21st century Nigeria, naivety still pervades its politics:

It is shocking and embarrassing to learn that in the midst of the position-sharing crisis at the Apex Legislative Assembly, Buhari who has chosen and has been so advised to play the silent sentinel behaving like a pendulum is being honoured with the excellent attribute of a tolerant, unobtrusive, non-interferring democrat who is giving all sides in the fracas the wide democratic space to exhibit their felinity and dogtitude. Truth is, Buhari and the Arewa cohorts out to pursue the ONE NORTH AGENDA are merely hibernating at the background, quietly moving things and directing the course of events at the ALA, hence to say that Buhari is non-committal, uninterested and nonchallant is to exhibit the worst form of pitiful and incurable naivety which is tantamount to a gross lack of the basic understanding of the complexity of the Nigerian politics as far as power struggle between the North and the South of Nigeria is concerned.
